Erin and Bar Genie contributed to making my best friend's wedding a beautiful and fun event. I engaged Erin to manage the bar several months before the wedding. I live in Massachusetts so all of our planning was conducted over phone and email.
For the reception Erin helped us plan and craft specialty margarita's with fresh juice. The guests were raving about them during the cocktail hour at the reception. Erin's fellow bartenders were professional and cheerful. During slow times at the bar they circulated through the dining room and helped clear tables of extra glasses and used dinnerware. I would book with them again.
Booked Bar Genie for my daughter's high school graduation and was beyond satisfied! Thought we would keep it simple and just serve wine and beer, but Erin made a Watermelon Mojito that our guests are STILL raving nearly a month later. And they were made from scratch on the spot. I shouldn't leave out that we were a bit stressed when she arrived, having to move the party from outdoors to indoors because of the weather. But the bartender jumped in and helped pulled everything together. The clean up at the end was equally awesome and on top of all this - she had an excellent personality. The best money I spent on the event!
I enjoyed talking with Erin on the phone and I was very excited about having a bartender at our event. The downfall began when unknown to us she sent someone else in her place who showed up the night before our party throwing us into a panic. We finally got in touch with Erin and due to un-forseen circumstances she was sending someone else in her place who must have got the days confused. The day of the event both the new bartender and bar back arrived and my disappointment started from the beginning. The specialty drink was incorrect and different every time someone got it, supplies were not brought with her as promised and had to send a guest to the store, unable to make virgin drinks, ran out of juices, all the bottles of alcohol were opened and the lids thrown away, we rented glass wear and she used plastic cups. We were under the impression we would pay and receive Erin's services as a professional bartender. She sent 2 people that seemed to us and our guests as inexperienced in a private party setting. Her attempt to rectify our disappointment was offering her services again at a small event for us and a few friends to learn how to mix drinks. We declined.
Response from Bar Genie:
As the owner of this company; this review is very upsetting. What makes it so disappointing is that her feelings are warranted and I cannot dispute her review. I work very closely with my clients, and I too was very disappointed that I would not get to personally service Mollie and her guests. I only did what I knew was best and that was to stick to the procedures that are in place, and make sure they had a bartender. When an event is booked, an on-call bartender is assigned to the event. On that date, the on-call bartender is waiting to replace your original bartender, should that bartender have to cancel for any reason. There is absolutely no excuse for the bartender not being familiar with all of the necessary details and equipment. For this, that bartender is no longer with Bar Genie. My company was built on standards that meet or exceed those requirements of the Better Business Bureau. My A+ rating will not be jeopardized by employees that have such a disregard for my clients.
Erin had me sold as I spoke to her on the phone. She was very personable, professional, and energetic. She did not disappoint after we meet in person. She was energetic from the start of our event to the finish. She appropriately engaged in conversation with all of my guest who were age 14 to 85 years old. She had something for everyone. The younger crowd was very excited with their virgin variety. She made it look like artistry. The drinks kept getting better. I would highly recommend her and use her again!
Bar Genie was a delight to work with. They kept in constant communication all the way up to the event. Erin came earlier than expected to make sure everything was prepared and to scope out the event area. During the event, all the bartenders kept a professional attitude and made sure everything was running smoothly. After the event, she even offered to assist us in tearing down and cleaning up the bar area! Great people and will use them again in the near future!
From the first conversation I had with Erin Vaughn, the owner of Bar Genie, I knew I had found the right bartender for my private party. She is responsible, creative and extremely competent. Her ability to listen and offer up ideas enabled her to contribute in a significant and meaningful way for me and my 100+ guests. She put me in contact with a service company that helped me pull this off entirely. She researched the event and came fully prepared for action. Erin's specialty drink fit the theme and was a hit with everyone. Her stamina to enthusiastically serve everyone was also impressive. She's a PRO!
I came across Erin 4 months before my wedding and we began a long conversation through email about what I wanted in a bartender. I was a bride on a budget and wanting someone to work with me and not tell me what I should do. Erin was what I was looking for! She was patient, helpful, and knowledgeable. Before the recpetion, Erin helped set up the appetizers and went out of her way to make sure everything was ready for the reception. At the beginning of the reception Erin was approached by a gentleman that flashed a badge and wanted to see her credentials. Erin had wet hands and told the gentleman that it would be a minute before she could get it. He told her that he would be back at 6:45 and she couldn't serve anything but water until he came back. My reception started at 6:30 so this caused a long line at the bar for the first half hour of the reception. She had her credentials out and ready when he came back. I later found out that liscensed bartenders must have their credentials on them if asked. Erin did amazing even with a long line and being the only bartender. She was fast, courteous and all our guests loved her!! There wasn't a long line the rest of the night! I would recommend Erin and her company to any I know.
I just wanted to take the time to write a review about Erin. She was the bartender at my friend's wedding a few weekends ago and my friends and I were very impressed with her work. She worked efficiently while still keeping up small conversations with the guests. She also had recipes for delicious drinks! Her personality was awesome, too! She was glowing with joy to be working the event and it was obvious she loves her job! I would definitely recommend her for any event in which a bartender is needed.
I will be honest and say that Bar Genie was not my first choice because of a review about the liquor estimates being off plus Bar Genie was $5 more an hour. I will leave the company nameless but I hired 3 bartenders from another company that I found on this website. They were a hosts worse nightmare. One bartender was perfect, but the other two were terrible. One showed up late, and the other was sloppily dressed and to boot, he was drunk 2 hours into the 6 hour event. I kicked them out and reached out to Erin. She and another bartender were at the venue within the hour. They even brought a portable bar. As soon as she walked behind the bar already sat up, she immediately informed me that I did not have enough alcohol or, of all things, ice. Because of the review about her liquor estimates, I was sceptical but all of her estimates were dead on by the end of the event. Their personalities were just the cherry on top. All 323 guests were very satisfied.
Cheers!
Despite a cheaper quote; from the first conversation, I was very comfortable with Erin. My party was two months from that conversation, and she stayed in constant contact with me up to the day of my event. I hired her for a martini party, but had no idea how much work she was going to put in. She organized the order the martinis would be sampled in and even what order they should be in so to "balance our palates". I mean this was not just a martini party to her. It was a production! My guests were blown away. I have already referred at least 6 people to her and can't wait to tell more!
Erin recently worked a private event of mine. She did a great job! Many of my guests raved about her friendly personality and the quality of the drinks that she served. I was impressed by her creativity. It was clear that she wanted to set herself apart from other bartenders and that she wanted my event to be unique from all others. My only criticsm would be in the pre-planning for the event. It was often difficult to reach Erin & a lot the details were left to last minute which tends to stress me out as an event organizer. Alcohol estimates were made (last minute) but yet we still found ourselves running out of several different liquors & its frustrating to have to send guests out for drinks in the middle of a party. Despite these issues, Erin was a very knowledgeable bartender and provided excellent service to our party guests. I would recommend her to others & would consider working with her again in the future.
I am a business owner, and with that comes a certain respect for thorough, hard workers. I can be quite picky and hard to work with at times. Erin was easy to work with and eager to please. I will never use anyone else to bartend any of my events ever again.

We bring our own equipment. You will need to provide the alcohol, but I do provide garnishes free of charge in most cases. If you would like me to provide the mixers; that can be arranged as well. I also have a portable bar that lights up in 16 different colors, perfect for any event that has a theme color, or if you would like, I can turn the lights off all together. We provide superior service and personality that is out of this world which is very important when pleasing your guests.
We have no problem cleaning up and putting everything back in the order in which it was found.
I have a degree in Hospitality, Travel, and Tourism, but I just could not give up bartending. Growing up I wanted to be a psychologist and an event planner, so I guess it makes sense. After years of working in bars and nightclubs, I was tired of that environment, so I started this business. Thanks to all of the positive and negative things that I learned from the bar industry, along with the customer service skills acquired from countless customer service jobs, combined with a lot of imagination; I have made my company what it is today.
If you are simply looking for a bartender to serve beer and wine, or, if you are looking to pull out all of the stops. I have something unique for every budget. I understand that we don't all have thousands of dollars to make our event what we imagine, but we all deserve to have a quality event with quality service. I am a firm believer that the perfect drink menu and phenomenal bartender can help set the tone for the occasion. Some of you are entertaining clients, and some of you are just looking spend a warm evening with a few loved ones. No matter what the occasion; your celebration deserves a bartender that delivers exceptional service from beginning to end.
There are many people in this profession, but there are three things that set my company apart; personality, creativity, and the understanding that there is a difference between tending at a bar and tending a private party.
I truly love what I do. I look forward to getting you booked!
Portable light up bar offers 16 different colors to accomodate any event.

I have heard so many horror stories about so called bartenders who have single handedly ruined their clients events. My goal is to not only meet, but exceed your expectations.
We can work with supplies and equipment that you provide, or I can arrange rentals and place orders for you.
